The patterns you're struggling with now often started for a reason

Trying to get things right, taking care of everyone else, pushing yourself harder, or keeping parts of yourself hidden may have helped you feel safer, accepted, or connected at another point in your life.

The problem is that what once helped you can eventually become exhausting.

Instead of wondering, "What's wrong with me?"

You can begin asking, "How did I learn this, and is it still helping me?"

As those patterns begin to make sense, you have more choice about what you want to keep doing and what you want to do differently.

I draw primarily from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). And, I don't believe you should have to fit into a particular approach. We'll use what works for you and adjust as we learn more about what's helpful.

Before becoming a therapist, I earned my PhD in Education and spent nearly two decades as a university professor. I enjoyed helping people make sense of complicated ideas and seeing the moment when something finally clicked. That experience and my curiosity still shape the way I work today.

When I'm not meeting with clients, you'll usually find me spending time with my family or friends, hiking, traveling, or learning something new.

If you think we might be a good fit, I'd be happy to talk with you.
